Canon Popoola speaks

Canon AkinTunde Popoola, director of communications for the Church of Nigeria, just posted a comment at Thinking Anglicans regarding his Church's support for the anti-gay legislation being considered by the legislature:

"I do not think speaking publicly against the bill will do the Gospel any good in our context."

He may be speaking of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who has not publicly opposed the bill. I don't think he can be speaking of his own Church, which has not opposed the bill because it has been busy supporting it.
